Chapter 2469: Chapter 2469: Major News

Fortunately, the higher one goes in the Cultivation Tower, the fewer the number of Cultivation Rooms. The First Layer boasts up to nine hundred ninety-nine rooms, but the number drops to seven hundred ninety-nine on the Second Layer, and only five hundred ninety-nine on the third layer.

The middle three layers and the upper three layers have even fewer Cultivation Rooms.

Especially on the Ninth Floor, there are only two rooms.

After Jing Yan instructed Niu Bo and other Array Masters, he looked toward Luo Hao.

Luo Hao found it hard to conceal his excitement upon knowing that Hongmeng City was constructing a Cultivation Tower. Luo Hao and his companions were incredibly loyal to the Thunder Domain, and as Jing Yan is the Young Master of the Thunder Domain, they ardently wished for Jing Yan to become stronger and for Hongmeng City to thrive. The construction of the Cultivation Tower was undoubtedly a significant institution to strengthen Hongmeng City.

”Luo Hao!” Jing Yan gazed at Luo Hao.

”City Lord.” Luo Hao bowed.

”Do you remember what I said to you thirty years ago when Bai Han was appointed city Grand Steward?” Jing Yan smiled.

”I remember.” Luo Hao responded.

Back then, Jing Yan had told Luo Hao to await further commands, as he had another appointment in mind for him.

”Hmm, this Cultivation Tower will be entrusted to you for management. You, Luo Hao, will be the Tower Master of this Heavenly Cultivation Tower.” Jing Yan nodded and said.

Luo Hao was in the Immortal Venerate Peak Realm and was among the stronger cultivators at this level.

”Wha... what? Heavenly Cultivation Tower?” Luo Hao displayed an expression of surprise.

Although Luo Hao had speculated that City Lord Jing Yan might appoint him to manage the Cultivation Tower, he was astonished by Jing Yan’s mention of the Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower!

Due to variations in cultivation effects, Cultivation Towers are divided into multiple levels. In the Kunling Sky Domain, they are generally classified into the levels of Heaven, Earth, and Human. However, commonly seen Cultivation Towers only have two levels: the Human-level Tower, also known as the Low-level Tower; and the Earth-level Tower, also known as the High-Level Tower.

As for the Heavenly Level Cultivation Towers, they are extremely rare within the Heavenly Domain, and only a few superpowers have the capability to construct them.

Thus, if Hongmeng City were to build a Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower, it would undoubtedly shake the Heavenly Domain.

Of course, the level of a Cultivation Tower cannot be determined merely by proclamation; to gain recognition from the Heavenly Domain, it must genuinely offer such cultivation effects.

”Yes, once this Cultivation Tower is established, it will be Heavenly Level! Moreover, it will surpass the few existing Heavenly Level Towers.” Jing Yan chuckled softly.

Jing Yan had this confidence!

Because even if those superpowers within the Heavenly Domain put their full effort into it, they absolutely couldn’t acquire numerous rare treasures like High-level Netherworld Crystal Stones to be placed in their Cultivation Towers.

Even Kunling Heaven possesses places similar to the Yellow Spring Cave, but even if one enters the Yellow Spring Cave, one is unlikely to acquire many resources like Netherworld Crystal Stones. Even if someone’s luck exploded, they would at most acquire a small ore vein.

Therefore, Jing Yan was completely confident in constructing the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower as an exceptional Heavenly Level Cultivation Tower.

Moreover, if given the opportunity, Jing Yan also planned to reinforce the Cultivation Rooms on the Ninth Floor with some special resources. Such as using the Netherworld Heart, which would garner much attention from powerful figures if applied within Cultivation Rooms. That being said, although Jing Yan still possessed some Netherworld Hearts, he would never offer it casually. The significance of these items is immense; even Jing Yan hesitated to use them for his cultivation. Employing the Netherworld Heart means diminishing its quantity, hence Jing Yan must use it cautiously until a substitute becomes available.

”City... Lord!” Luo Hao subconsciously prepared to kneel before Jing Yan.

Jing Yan quickly executed Divine Power to prevent Luo Hao from kneeling in front of the Array Masters.

”Alright, your responsibilities begin. The feature construction of the Cultivation Tower requires a continuous supply of materials. As you are now the Tower Master, you shall oversee the material logistics. Director Niu Bo indicates what materials are needed, and you shall request them from Grand Steward Bai Han from the City’s Treasure Vault. If there is a shortage, acquire them externally.” Jing Yan stated.

Hongmeng City had already developed a sound system for procurement and sales, so these routine material transactions did not require Jing Yan’s concern.

”As you command!” Luo Hao responded.

From that day onwards, the construction functions of the Cultivation Tower formally commenced.

...

Next day, Hongmeng Pill Tower!

The recent defamation and disparagement had caused a stagnation in the increase of cultivators in Hongmeng City and even showed signs of decline, affecting the business of Hongmeng Pill Tower as well.

As dawn broke, the Building Owner of Hongmeng Pill Tower, Wuxia, appeared outside the main entrance of the Pill Tower.

A few servants of the Pill Tower stood by Wuxia Building Owner’s side.

Currently, Hongmeng Pill Tower operates overnight; however, compared to the daytime, fewer cultivators come to purchase elixirs at night. Wuxia Building Owner ushered out the sparse number of cultivators from the Pill Tower and barred additional cultivators from entering.

”What’s happening?”

”Why aren’t we being allowed entry? Is Hongmeng Pill Tower still in business?”

”At least provide an explanation! If you are not selling elixirs, just say so, and we will buy elsewhere!”

”Keep your voice down; that person is Wuxia Immortal Venerable, the Building Owner of Hongmeng Pill Tower!”

”Wuxia Immortal Venerable or not, their Pill Tower is a business, and we are customers. It’s unreasonable to block out customers. Is Hongmeng Pill Tower planning to shut down?”

”...”

More and more cultivators and adventurers gathered outside the Pill Tower, and the crowd buzzed with varied opinions. Some fiery adventurers even began to question whether Hongmeng Pill Tower was closing down.

Amid this brewing debate, some began to wonder if Hongmeng City was struggling.

Wuxia remained indifferent to these discussions.

As time progressed, more people heard about the situation at Hongmeng Pill Tower and came from all directions to witness the excitement.

Upon seeing the growing crowd, a hint of a smile appeared on Wuxia’s face as she gently circulated her Divine Power.

Wuxia spoke, ”Fellow cultivators, brave adventurers, esteemed guests of Hongmeng Pill Tower!”

Wuxia’s voice was pleasant, infused with gentle fluidity that echoed softly amidst coolness. It reached the ears of everyone present.

Upon hearing the voice of Wuxia Building Owner, the cultivators quieted down and all eyes turned to Wuxia Building Owner.

”Hongmeng Pill Tower is about to announce an important message, hence the temporary halt in business for four hours.” Wuxia said calmly, gazing around.

”What is the announcement?”

”Wuxia Building Owner, please tell us, what exactly is the message? Can you share it with us now?”

”...”

After hearing that Hongmeng Pill Tower intends to announce a significant message, curiosity swept through the cultivators. The two-hour pause in operations indeed suggested a crucial announcement.

”Everyone, please be patient. In an hour, I will personally deliver the announcement. This message is not only extremely vital to Hongmeng Pill Tower, but also holds the same importance for all of you.” Wuxia said with a smile.
